Residents in a Northeastside neighborhood were prepared to help when a young couple's vehicle slid off the road into the snow. When they approached the vehicle, however, the would-be good Samaritans were surprised to see fists flying.

Both the 17-year-old man and 18-year-old woman jumped out of the vehicle, according to a Lawrence Police Department report, and continued fighting in the middle of the street in the 12000 block of Van Spronsen Way at about 4 p.m. Monday. That location is just south of 75th Street and just west of the Hancock-Marion county line.
